PJ's Pancake House

Ah, PJ's Pancake House. It's a local Princeton joint serving good diner type food all day. We like to go for the breakfast which is good and fast. Some people might say that you can make that food at home. Not true. I could never make my pancakes as good nor as fluffy as PJ's. Besides, a diner line cook is probably one of the most hardest positions in the food industry. If you're slow, you're not doing it right. I digress. On to the food! We arrive early one morning without a line in sight. Lucky for us! Usually the line is about 10 people deep. The place is small so a wait is normal. We quickly peruse the menu and settle on the usual. Ms. Pasty Chef picked the Two-fer with a western omelet with hash browns and toast. Mr. Meat & Potatoes had the Sausage and Cheese omelet with some buttermilk pancakes. And here are his pancakes. I had the Pigs in a Blanket: buttermilk pancakes wrapping breakfast sausages. And my side of eggs cooked over easy. I love runny yolks and they make good on everything, including pancakes. Yes, I threw my eggs on top of my Pigs in a Blanket. Good, good, good! PJ's is a solid place to eat for breakfast. I've never been there for lunch or dinner. Their pancakes are nice and fluffy and delicious. This meal for the 3 of us plus a chocolate milk cost less than $40. The majority of the cost was my meal. PJ's Pancake House 154 Nassau Street Princeton, NJ 08540 (609) 924-1353 pjspancakes.com
